Last updated : 03 November 2024 By Michael Morris

Cardiff's interim manager Omer Riza:

"It's a really emotional one with the players in the changing room afterwards. It was a great comeback, a great result against a very good side. You to give the players every credit.

"We wanted to contain their wings, especially Sainz, but he got away from us in one moment to score a magic goal.

"It was tough at 1-0 but we made some changes, the boys dug in and never gave up getting back into the game.

"Given the way we came back against a top side like Norwich, I would have been happy with the draw but even then we didn't stop driving forwards and now I'm ecstatic."

Norwich's Johannes Hoff Thorup:

"We played a great game for the first 75 minutes and did everything right to get the three points.

"But we had a few more players missing and some guys out of position and others back after a few weeks out and that showed in the last 15 minutes.

"That's why we needed to get that second goal to finish the game but I can't really have asked for more from the players.

"I know we've lost and it's disappointing but sometimes these games happen. Goals can come out of nothing and that's what we've seen here.

"We just have to make sure these players learn from that last 15 minutes to be more solid for the next time they are in that situation."
